I didn't quite write (or mean) that. I explained that some domains have experts (dentistry, Spanish grammar, plumbing, mathematics) & some don't (political "science", evolutionary psychology, macroeconomics, Steven Pinker's field, etc.) — PolitiTweet.org

3) There is something vicious by "commoners" keeping aristocracy in nominal positions: nobody considers them intelligent, not even themselves. Royals are therefore self-excluded from the elite: it makes them non-dangerous, relegated to a degrading form of human dog breeding. — PolitiTweet.org

2) In the UK, the *effective* head of state is a regular citizen who works in what bankers would consider a shoddy townhouse, leaving the distractions of the pomp to the defanged *nominal* one. In France, the president is a monarch. Mitterrand was effectively a modern Louis XIV. — PolitiTweet.org

I dislike the v. idea of monarchy & being a "subject", even if cosmetic. But experience shows that, just as w/religion, when you remove kings, you tend to get something vastly worse (nature abhores a vacuum). Removing the king is like bulldozing museums. Pple don't get Burke. — PolitiTweet.org

Cum mortuis non nisi larvas luctari: Only losers* wage wars against the dead. Listen, someone died. Have some decency. If you have a problem w/the British monarchy, Empire, or Navy, you were under moral obligation to express it earlier & in a more effective way. Silence now — PolitiTweet.org
